MISCELLANEOUS. 



The Fruit Evaporator. 

 Within a few years tlie evaporation of fruit by Im- 



I reived processi'S, unJcr tlie etinuilus of ttic current 

 l;iL:h prii'es for the product, luis received mucli at- 

 iDiiioii. American evaporated fruits liave {rained a 

 ^'reat reputation in Europe, and now constitute an 

 liiiportiint, item in commerce. The demand, marl<et 

 and price within tlie last year has added new interest 

 and importance to the husincss. 



Perhaps the most si;,'nilicant fact In this conncc- 

 tiou is, that simpler and elieapor, yet philosophical 

 evaporators have been constructed, and arc now 

 (roini; into use as an auxiliary to the farmer and 

 orchardist. Fruit growers should closely investigate 

 and turn to account upon their own promises much, 

 if not all, qf the fruit that usually goes to waste or 

 is sold at nnremunerative prices. The fact that 

 raisins are sold here for 10 cents per pound, after a 

 carriage of thousands of miles, and evaporated 

 pared iieaclies is worth 35 to yo cents per pound, 

 suggests at least investigation. 



Seeds and Plants. 



We would call the attention of those of our 

 readers who contemplate purchasing seeds or plants 

 •during the coming season, to the advertisement of 

 Peter Henderson & Co., New York, now appearing 

 in our columns. Peter Henderson, the senior mem- 

 ber of the lirm, is known far and wide as a horti- 

 cultural writer and authority. His books, "Gar- 

 dening for Profit," "Practical Floriculture," and 

 "Gardening I'or Pleasure," are now in the hands 

 of thousands. The green-house establishment of 

 this firm covers three acres in green-houses and 

 employs upwards of fifty hands. Millions of plants 

 are shipped by mail or express annually to every 

 State and Territory. Their seed warehouse is the 

 most extensive in the city of New York, and every 

 order received is certain to be filled witli goods of 

 the best quality, and as they are producers as 

 ■well as dealers, "everything for the garden" will' 

 be sold at low rates. Feb-om 



"Bo-Peep " 



This exquisitely wrought steel plate engraving, by 

 ■ the well-known artist, J. A. J. Wilcox, from a 

 painting by that world famous German artist, 

 Meyer Von Bremen, is one of the most beautiful 

 and artistic engravings ever published. A mother 

 and her child are away from the dusty town for an 

 afternoon's recreating in the "Sylvan Wild" of Ger- 

 many; golden jiages are added to life's book of 

 ■""Happy Hours." It is a genuine steel engraving, 

 and so excellent in subject and body that its pos- 

 sessor can never outgrow it — become be or she how- 

 ever lesthetic in art. Printed on 3.i.x'i8 paper. Price 

 5:5.li(). Published by K. H. Currau & Co., 22 School 

 street, Boston, Mass. Apr-It. 



The Cooley Creamer. 



This method of "deep-setting of milk" is coming 

 Into so general use, that at the recent dairy lair 



"In New York, it was not shown as a "novelty," 

 but took its place as a common and indispensable 

 adjunct to the dairy. With a Cooley Creamer a 

 dairyman is entirely independent ofthe weather, and 

 bis product is uniform at all times. It is in this, as 

 well as in its convenience, that the Cooley process of 



•setting milk commends itself to all who make but- 

 ter. 



From our foreign exchanges we infer that it has 



• been quite extensively introduced into use in Great 

 Britain. — Albany Country Gentleman. Feb-4m.
